just because something worked 120 years ago doesn't mean it's feasible today.

It is feasible. I he want's to save money, lower the ML cap and have a ceiling.

I don't think it's just about the money (but that always plays a part). I just think that MLB realizes that there is no need for an average of 5 minor league teams for every ML club. That's about 125 "prospects" per team. I think they realize that most of those players have no shot at making it to MLB...so why keep/draft that many players?

I think I'm more worried about the MilB teams aren't their own entity any more.
